Saman N.

3 USMLE lessons

He didn’t just explain the right answers but made sure I understood where I went wrong and how to approach similar questions in the future. This was a game-changer for me. I also used Anki for memorization but struggled to weave the facts together coherently. Andrew’s guidance helped me connect all the dots, turning isolated facts into a comprehensive understanding. I highly recommend Andrew to anyone aiming to achieve a deep understanding and excel in their USMLE Step 1.
Rola F.

3 USMLE lessons

I am currently studying for USMLE step 3. I did a couple of tutoring sessions with Dr. Madhu. I found him thoughtful and appreciating the ongoing challenging of any student preparing for this exam. I found him also comfortable in his approach and patient in explaining the hard topics. He is flexible in rearranging the tutoring session in a timely and convenient manner. I wish him all the best and also for every student who is preparing for USMLE exam.
Caroline D.

4 USMLE lessons

Khashayar was very accommodating to my schedule and was fine with meeting at very early times like 6am. He also made sure to challenge me to think critically in a kind and patient way, and also made sure to assess if our sessions were accommodating to my learning style (more conversational or more lecture-based). I would highly recommend Khashayar as a tutor for anyone trying to prepare for USMLE.
